Since I plan on doing some marathon of The Simpsons, it'd be pretty boring if I only watched the 90's and 80's episodes... I want to try something different and go for random seasons.

I would also appreciate it if you can post any episode post season 12, since, well, it's hard to sift through there. Just titles and the season-episode number should do, but if you want to leave some delicious hint, I wouldn't mind!

I've got plenty more for 10,it being the last consistently good season until the 21st,but most people seem to debate the quality of it anyway,so I just put up the ones no one can deny.

That's why I said post 12, not 10, but thanks. Oh and you listed my favorite episodes too :P

Not sure, as there are so many, but in no particular order; well, apart from the last five being Sideshow Bob episodes as I think they are especially prone to being especially good; but apart from that they are in no particular other order...

  • 138th episode spectacular.
  • Who Shot Mr. Burns part 1.
  • Who Shot Mr. Burns part 2.
  • Trilogy Of Error.
  • Curse Of The Flying Hellfish.
  • Bart vs. Thanksgiving.
  • Last Exit To Springfield.
  • Homer Badman.
  • Itchy&Screatchy&Marge.
  • When Flanders Failed.
  • Lisa's First Word.
  • Homer's Barbershop Quartet.
  • Hurricane Ned.
  • Mother Simpson.
  • You Only Move Twice.
  • Krusty Gets Busted.
  • Black Widower.
  • Sideshow Bob Roberts.

Trying to focus on late seasons here:

  • Trilogy of error, indeed.
  • Just about any littler tree house of horror and Sideshow bob episodes. Except this year's.
  • HOMR
  • They Saved Lisa's Brain, Hawkins is great here. (These two are probably the best of post-golden age Lisa episodes.
  • Homer the father : This is great if you are a troper who watched 80s shows.
  • Homer to the max
  • Catch 'Em If You Can

hmnn, can't think of more.

For the old seasons, yesterday I watched Bart sells his soul, and boy, it is awesome.

Edit: 22 Short Films About Springfield, I sometimes wish they would have stopped making The Simpsons that season and started the spin-off.

Tree house of horror all of them

22 Short Films About Springfield
I hated that one. I found it way too depressing to be funny, from Burns' callous indifference about Smithers' bee allergy to Seymour's excessive lying. Not to mention the ending basically saying either that the solution to bullying is to humiliate bullies and make the whole town point and laugh or that all Springfielders except Nelson think that way.

Actually, it's even worse that the episode made it hard to tell which.

Bart the Mother (Season 10, Episode 3)
Practically forgot about that one until now. That one too is fit to rival many if not most of the entries on my own list.
